The commissioning of a hydrorefining unit generally involves several stages: unit handover and acceptance, unit inspection, commissioning of utility systems, system purging and flushing, instrument calibration, individual unit testing, heating furnace drying, airtightness testing of the low-pressure system, operation of the distillation water (oil) system, airtightness testing of the high-pressure system with nitrogen, drying of the reaction system, catalyst loading, catalyst drying, airtightness testing of the reaction system with hydrogen, emergency cooling hydrogen and pressure relief tests for the reaction system, pre-sulfurization and initial activity stabilization, switching of feed oil, and adjustment of operations to produce qualified products. Taking the start-up of medium-pressure diesel hydrorefining as an example, the start-up steps are briefly described. I. Preparation for commencement 1.1 Requirements for commencement: Conduct a \"three-level inspection\" before starting work, and adhere to the principle of \"no commencement under four conditions\". That is, work will not begin if the quality inspection fails ; Work will not begin unless the safety precautions are in place ; Work will not begin until the equipment leaks are completely fixed ; Environmental TV Station will not start operations as it does not meet the requirements. Furthermore, the various functional departments organize written sign-offs to confirm that the starting conditions are met, after which the production department issues the order to begin work. During construction, it is required to adhere to the “ten no’s”. Ensure smooth operation by preventing leaks, escapes, emissions, cross-contamination, operational errors, and equipment (catalyst) damage; avoid any accidents; not overlook any abnormality; not miss recording any data; and act in a timely manner to ensure everything proceeds smoothly. All personnel must be aware of the maintenance status, and the Soviet Union must have control over the startup plan. Starting from April 13, one question per week: This week’s topic is the startup inspections carried out during the commissioning of medium-pressure diesel hydrogenation units – what are these inspections, and how are they conducted? It will continue until the project is completed, and a summary will be prepared. Thank you all for your participation. This post was last edited by zhuyitou8 on 2009-4-19 23:01.]
The following aspects are mainly inspected: 1. Inspection of process pipelines 2. Inspection of valves 3. Inspection of reactors, towers, vessels, and heating furnaces 4. Inspection of heat exchange equipment 5. Inspection of compressors and pumps 6. Inspection of instruments and control systems 7. Overall inspection of the plant 8. External inspection of the plant
Pay attention to the protection of the catalyst during startup, as well as the issue of catalyst loading in the hydrogenation reactor
Let me give you an example: For instance, when inspecting a heating furnace, one checks the furnace tubes in accordance with the relevant inspection standards; one also inspects for any debris inside the furnace chamber, ensures that the furnace walls are smooth and free of cracks, and verifies that the heat-resistant lining, supports, elbows, explosion-proof doors, viewing ports, natural ventilation doors, and other accessories are in good condition; Check whether the valves of the gas pipelines for each burner, as well as the pipelines for fire-fighting steam and purge steam, are functioning properly, and ensure that the flame arrestors are installed in accordance with the specified requirements ; Whether the flue dampers, air valves, soot blowers, fans, and butterfly valves are flexible and functional. Special attention should be paid to checking the free expansion space for thermal expansion of the opposing furnace tubes, in order to prevent the tubes from bending due to thermal expansion after ignition. Special attention should be paid to indicating the valve direction on components such as flue dampers, to prevent accidental operation.

For the first inspection, the more issues there are, the better. Encourage all technical staff and operators to conduct inspections in different areas; it’s even possible to set a requirement for how many issues each person must identify, or to offer a reward for each issue found. One must be aware of the overall responsibility; if it isn’t corrected properly the first time, it will still be one’s own problem later on.
